This whale tail captures the magic of the ocean in miniature. At 4.9 cm long — about the size of half your pinky finger — it's visible and elegant at once. Each blue fire opal shimmers with that signature play of colors that seems to shift in the light, as if alive. The pearl-like carved detail on the tail reminds you of a real whale's scales, crafted with artisanal precision.

Made in .950 silver, the purest we work with in Taxco. Each stone has been hand-set, no machines — the artisan places the fire opal into its silver seat using watchmaker's precision tools. This hand inlay technique is what sets Taxco jewelry apart from factory work: each piece demands focus, skill, and the touch of true craft.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. It's no accident this pendant comes from there — it's the place where master silversmiths have refined techniques passed down since the colonial era. The Art Taxco story is part of that tradition.

Important: this is the pendant alone, without a chain. You choose the chain you love most — making the piece exactly as you want it. Need help choosing? Write us at hola@artetaxco.mx.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, just the pendant. That way you choose the chain you prefer — thickness, length, material. It's more flexible and personal.

Q: What exactly is fire opal?
A: It's a variety of opal with blue and green iridescent tones. Called "fire" opal because it plays with light like internal flames. It's natural, not synthetic.

Q: How big is it really? Will I notice it when I wear it?
A: 4.9 cm — about the size of a large fingernail. It's visible but not overwhelming. Hangs elegantly without feeling heavy.
